Don't think of it literally.. think of what it means

I'm thinking.... of something, and I don't really think it's literally... Kind of a metaphor? And I'm thinking that the word in the 4th line that Amy was talking about points to the *insert time here*.... But I've checked the pages, and am lost. *sigh*. *has never been good at riddles*

me either. I have searched many threads. So, the deep meaning? Because someone said not to think too hard....

no, don't think that hard.. it is sort of like a metaphor..

There's only one thing that seems to make sense with the first line, but I have searched there, so I'm clearly wrong. The time thing seems rather obvious to me now, but without knowing where to search, it's not much help.

The first line, I thought I had gotten it. And the fourth one makes no sense. I guess i am just no good at these....

*insert first thing that pops into my head here* But the thing is, I checked the posts and I didn't find anything!

*goes back and rechecks*

hmm. I know that the first thing that popped into my head must be wrong. As were the next several things. I'll keep trying though.

I have a question, though I'm not sure if you're allowed to answer it.... Is the thread locked?

Hmm..... the thread I was checking was locked.... *goes to recheck... again* I probably missed it somewhere, *sigh*

thanks!

ETA: Wow.... talk about coincidences! I was at the page when I posted this, tried what you suggested, and found it!!! *is happy*

lol.... *hops over to the second thread*

Now when you mean long post, do you mean a thread with a lot of posts or a single post with a lot in it?

me too, i didn't notice this thread until today and it's already on page 5!
i feel so lost xD

*giggles* Amy, I bet that'll click in a ton of people's heads... *wishes she had had that clue*

Ohh, I found it. Yeah, it may take a while, just use ctrl + f....

i don't really get what the meaning of it...*very confused*

The branches of what spread far and wide?
If you relate to that, you'll be fine.

Think of the first line and a couple after it, and think of the references that it makes. What pops into your head?

i think i get the The branches stretch far and wide part
but the last 2 lines are the weird ones that i don't get

The last line isn't all that important.

And what could be more insane than what the riddle describes?

The hippo says hello!

As Amy said before, a certain word in the 4th line kind of points to a point in time....

Found it!!! Although I thought I already looked there.

YAY! I FINALLY found the riddle!

I STILL CAN'T FIND IT!!! *pulls hair out in frusteration!*

I JUST READ THOUGH ALL OF THESE AND STILL CAN'T FIND IT!! *starts to cry in exhaustion after an hour of non-stop searching*


Though i did come across Riddle Number 5 in my search!

I always think I know where it is but then it's not there! the place where I thought it was is the biggest place on the site so it's impossible to search every thread like I wish I could do!
